There's something magic about that 9th win.

Just about every "professional" prediction about the Ravens is now wrong.

Yeah...and if we can win 2 out of our next 3, the Ravens will be that surprise team of the year.

It's a great win, no doubt, on national TV, but it will take 10 or more to make the playoffs. We might have to run the table to win the division, and with the dogfight going on in the AFC East, we need every win we can get to get a Wild Card berth.

I think everything hinges on us beating the Steelers. But I have confidence we will bring our A game to that one. As below....

haha, that's right! A big in your face to everyone who thought we were out of our minds (well, some of us anyway) for predicting a 10+ win season!

[ravensgirlx88]

To me we already have a winning season, playoffs or not. We were 5-11 last year. I didnt expect us to win more then 8 games this year.

[PurpleAndBlackOnTheAttack]

We are so gonna whip the Steelers at home next week

Haha nice. I sincerely wish that I can hear the REAL version of that song played one day after we just won the World Series. I am 20 and I barely remember the O's being good

[PurpleAndBlackOnTheAttack]

No World Series win since 83 ahhh who cares its football season

We do have a tougher stretch than other contenders ahead of us tho... they might be taking that into consideration

Deon Sanders and Steve M on NFL Network said we were built for the players and could be scary, ****** the media anyways we don't need it.

The Falcons or the Dolphins will be the suprise of the year, because we get no love lol. Everyone has been on the Falcons this year even though we have had the same record. But they appear to be stumbling just a bit as we seem to be in stride, and the fins are looking good and will also get alot of love, especially considering the offseason moves to get Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor out.... how ineffective have they been this year?

So I think we will get honorable mention or something, but I think we are better suited to the playoffs then the other "suprise" teams. Plus, last year was a bigger suprise then this year, peole expected more from us then other teams... hopefully next year we are expected to run deep into the playoffs, which I think we will have a good shot at.
